It was designed by New York City architect Samuel Adams Warner as part of his Roslyn estate.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the cottage is a distinctive and unusual example of chalet-style architecture in Roslyn. It has a low, broad roof with jerkin-headed gables and widely projecting eaves, a cantilevered gallery and a rustic masonry basement. It survives intact as a rare variation of picturesque Victorian residential design in the village.","narrative":"Set into a steep, wooded hillside on Railroad Avenue in Roslyn, this one-and-one-half story frame cottage was built around 1875 on a portion of the estate of New York City architect Samuel Adams Warner. Warner appears to have designed it for his daughter Emma Elizabeth. The house rests on a rough-hewn stone basement and carries a broad overhanging gable roof with jerkin heads, supported by diagonal braces. An L-shaped gallery with scroll-sawn trim wraps the south and west sides. Later changes include side additions, two early twentieth century dormers and a basement vestibule added about 1950. It was listed as a distinctive and unusual example of the chalet cottage type in the village, a style inspired by Swiss mountain dwellings and built in relatively small numbers during the Victorian period. The house has since served as a restaurant, and it survives largely intact as a rustic, picturesque estate building.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Samuel Adams Warner; Builder: Unknown","architectural_style":"Chalet style cottage (picturesque Victorian)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Originally a residence, now used as a restaurant (Chalet Restaurant); condition rated good and no threats known at the time of the inventory.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.881567-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86002654.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002654/6a239cea99-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002654/6a239cea99-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Winter","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel_Adams_Warner_House_2013-09-29_15-51-17.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Winter</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel_Adams_Warner_House_2013-09-29_15-51-17.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313718","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Adams_Warner_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7410729"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/warner-samuel-adams-house-86002654/"}
